Using shell mail programs to read
virtual POP mailboxes

The full command line to use mutt to read a virtual mailbox on this
server is:

mutt -f {user@domain.com@domain.com}inbox

and the proper command line to use pine to do the same is:

pine -f {domain.com/user=user@domain.com}INBOX

where domain.com is your domain, and user is the username for the pop
account you wish to read mail for. Obviously, this is awkward at best,
so we have somewhat automated the process.

Two scripts will configure your shell to read mail in pine or mutt, and
also change the mailbox to be read. They are usepine and usemutt. Simply
type usepine or usemutt, followed by the pop username (just the part
before the @ sign). For example, if you wanted to read mail for
support@yourdomain.com, and wanted to use mutt, you
would type "usemutt support".

Typing either of these commands will create a script in your home
directory called "readmail" that will pass the appropriate command line
to the mail program you have chosen. From this point on, to read mail
for your chosen account on your shell, type "readmail". If you wish to
change your email program or vpop account, simply run usepine or usemutt
again.
